some time and yet she bore her
afflictions very pat iently and
with grace. Her sweet disposition

husband, a mother, father, sister
and three brother . beside.;- other
relatives and many friend ;.
Last Novemper Mrs, Grcsham

the Banner ( lass of the Evangel-

ed by Rev. Hofer. The text used
was from Rev. 20:(>.
